You’ve seen our spec sheets. You’re familiar with our website. But how many fascinating stories of V-Cone® applications have you heard? We’re here to share 3 little known facts about the V-Cone, from our V-Cone Applications Engineering Manager. A Strong Solution One...
Flow Meter Selection
V-Cone Material Construction: An Overview
The V-Cone® is one of McCrometer’s most versatile flow meters, in the ability to customize pressure taps, end connections, and most of all – material of construction. Often, the material construction varies from customer to customer based on the demands of the...
Flow Straighteners vs. Straightening Vanes: Similarities and Differences
Straightening vanes and flow straighteners, in tandem with propeller meters, have been an important component of flow measurement in the agriculture industry – and for a good reason. Typically installed near flow disturbers or in short straight-run applications, flow...
McCrometer’s Startup Service: An Overview
Sometimes, a meter installation isn’t as straightforward as we’d like it to be. To prevent potentially time-consuming and frustrating delays and issues, McCrometer offers a startup service.
Stacking Transmitters: Getting the Most Out of Your V-Cone
While it’s true that the V-Cone® primary element does the flow measuring, the transmitter is also an important component to effective flow measurement, and the decision-making that results from that data collection. For high turndown applications, customers have the...
V-Cone End Connections, Explained
Part of the V-Cone®’s appeal is its ability to be customized, including made-to-order end connections – a major benefit for engineers with a long list of specifications to meet and project goals to accomplish. We spoke to the McCrometer V-Cone engineers about the...
McCrometer Service: FPI Pipe ID Measurement for the FPI Mag
While it’s true that McCrometer’s Technical Support and Service Department typically assists customers after the point of purchase, there also happens to be several services offered prior to the meter being manufactured. The FPI Mag, McCrometer’s full profile...
The V-Cone and External Vibrations
Contrary to the popular Beach Boys song, vibrations aren’t always good – especially when they interfere with the functionality of your flow meter. In busy spaces where neighboring equipment gives off varying frequencies, having a flow meter that can mitigate...
Cladding vs. Weld Overlay: What’s the Deal?
We often hear the terms “cladding” and “weld overlay” used synonymously – and while the two terms are related, they do differ. We asked the engineering experts at McCrometer to weigh in on the similarities and differences between cladding and weld overlay, and here’s...
McCrometer Insertion-Style Mag Meters: A Comparison
McCrometer offers four insertion-style electromagnetic (mag) meters, which have similar designs and product names. If you’re interested in an insertion mag meter, or are comparing them to traditional full-bore mag meters, here’s what you need to know in order to...
